Hair Transplants with NeoGraft on Rachel Ray (Plastic Surgery Breakthroughs)

[badmuthasuka]

@alanbauman would I be able to do this transplant at age 17 or is it too young?

[alanbauman]

@badmuthasuka In response to your question, for younger hair loss patients we recommend non-invasive treatment options to stabilize the hair loss process first before considering hair transplantation. Once things are stable, we can discuss what (if any) procedure might be needed and when it would be appropriate to consider a transplant. --Dr. B.

Will the area where the hair has been removed grow back?

Also if you use hair from other parts of the body will the hair growth rate be different from the rest of your head ?

[alanbauman]

@mya32189 Once a follicle has been removed from the donor area, it will not typically grow back in that area... it will, however, grow permanently in the place where it has been transplanted to. The good news is that you can remove literally thousands and thousands of follicles without any significant change in visual coverage in the donor area. If you use body hair for transplantation, yes, the hair growth rates as well as curl, color, texture are different than the scalp follicles.

Really Dr. Youn? I don't know anyone using staples to close donor scars and I've been in the industry 10 years. Also, many feel that you can destroy neighboring hair follicles as you extract other follicles as part of the process so not as clean as you imply. The technology is for small to medium cases yes? What's the most grafts you moved and how long did it take? To move 1400 grafts maybe you destroyed another 600....

@stevey1111 Actually, using staples for the donor area is common in more than a few practices, as we have seen presented at the ISHRS Annual Scientific Meetings--especially in the Pacific Northwest. In our hands at Bauman Medical Group, we routinely harvest 1500-1700 grafts with the NeoGraft per day (3000+ takes two days). If you watch some of the more technical vids, you'll see that there is absolutely NO damage to surrounding follicles or those harvested. Linear harvests transect many!

I had the Neograft procedure done and it worked very well. The thing that I liked the most was that my hair never fell out or went into a "resting" phase like most transplants. To me, this means that it likely has less trauma to the follicles. My started growing as soon as they were placed into the new area. This will not happen for all patients, but it did for me. I would recommend both Neograft and Dr. Bauman.
